Is 76 million won between former lawmaker Kim Young-sun and Myung Tae-kyun a violation of the Political Fund Act?

In January, the Gyeongnam Election Commission asked for an investigation into the two men.

However, the decisive moment that spread to the "suspected intervention in the nomination" of President Yoon Suk Yeol and his wife was the disclosure of President Yoon's voice file.

[Yoon Suk Yeol / Then-President-elect (May 9, 2022): The mission committee brought it to me, so I asked Kim Young-sun to do it because she's been running hard since the election, but she's talking a lot. At the party....]

The arrest warrant for Myung Tae-kyun states that Myung showed off his friendship with the leader of the People's Power Party and the presidential candidate couple two years ago.Prosecutors believe that

received money from former lawmaker Kim and a potential candidate for local elections based on such political backgrounds as friendship.

The prosecution has called Kang Hye-kyung, who has exposed suspicions, eight times, and Myung and Kim, two times each, to investigate and receive related data.

However, the suspicion that Myung won the nomination of former lawmaker Kim during the presidential election in exchange for free polling on the then presidential candidate Yoon Suk Yeol did not apply to the arrest warrant.

As a result, attention is being paid to the SNS that the prosecution exchanged with President Yoon and his wife, who are known to have obtained mobile phones and computers used by Myung, and Rep. Lee Joon-seok, the representative of the People's Power at the time.

In order to clarify suspicions related to the nomination, investigation into former and current ruling party officials, including Yoon Sang-hyun, former chairman of the People's Power Mission Committee, and former chairman Lee Joon-seok, is expected to be inevitable.

In addition, it seems necessary to investigate the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and Changwon City Hall to investigate suspicions related to the Changwon National Industrial Complex.
